Composition / Ingredients

The active ingredient in Atarax Tablets 10mg is Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride, a first-generation antihistamine. Hydroxyzine works by influencing histamine receptors in the brain, providing both sedative and anti-allergic effects.

Key benefits of its composition include:

• Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride: Reduces itching, controls allergic reactions, and helps manage anxiety symptoms.
• Excipients: Inert compounds that stabilize the tablet, ensure proper absorption, and maintain shelf-life.

This precise formulation ensures maximum effectiveness with minimal adverse reactions when used as directed.

How It Works

Hydroxyzine, the main component in Atarax 10mg tablets, crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds to histamine H1 receptors. This mechanism produces:

• Sedative Effects: Helps reduce tension and anxiety in adults.
• Anxiolytic Benefits: Relieves nervousness and promotes mental calmness.
• Anti-Allergic Effects: Decreases itching caused by skin conditions such as eczema or nettle rash.

By targeting the histamine system and the central nervous system, Atarax simultaneously manages allergic responses and nervous tension, making it suitable for multi-purpose use under medical guidance.
